Occupation: Musicians/songwriters
Tour city: Cincinnati Airport and Washington Dulles, en route to JFK
Relationship status: Together
What did you eat today?
Deb: Croissant and coffee
Steve: Cheez-Its, a blueberry muffin and three small shots of Knob Creek. I’d say really it was 3 1/2 shots. The first one was a good pull, but the last two, my heart wasn’t in it.
What do you never eat?
Deb: I never eat, like, a big cooked ham. But besides that I eat almost anything.
Steve: I never eat the meat or fish special on Mondays or Tuesdays.
Complete this sentence: In our refrigerator, you can always find:
Deb: Organic half and half. It’s like the one constant in our house – that we have coffee and organic half and half.
Steve: Something, but it may not be what you’re looking for.
What is your favorite kitchen item?
Deb: Probably my blender. It’s one of those vintage Osterizer blenders. It’s a thing of beauty, red chrome, just a couple of settings. It really pleases me.
Steve: I’m gonna go with the coffee maker. It’s a French press.
Where do you eat out most frequently?
Deb: Abuelita’s.
Steve: Abuelita’s, which is the only restaurant open in Topanga at the moment.
World ends tomorrow. What would you like for your last meal?
Deb: I might make my meal breakfast. I would have a really good breakfast. Some good bread made into toast, eggs and really good greens in a simple salad and maybe some excellent chicken sausage. Maybe some fresh fruit – fresh blueberries. A meal at a really good steak joint would be a close second.
Steve: A spaceship.
The Weepies are one of my new favorite bands. They're amazing live, and they are as sweet and generous and lovely as you would imagine they are from their music. I wish I could listen to them sing every night.
that picture made me do a doubletake. My ex BF is a Director in London and 10 years ago I worked on a pop video he directed for a song called 'catch me a star' by a band called 'Proper' which had a picture frames with the band inside and little stars hanging (but he reversed them so they were hangin up instead of down.
Love your blog. On the Weepies, two thoughts:
1) They are awesome.
2) If you want to hear them every night, um, buy one of their CD's.

PS They're on Itunes. Too.
